Denard Brewing

1. Pick ~40 basil leaves. Harvest in the morning when the leaves are the most aromatic. Wash and dry with paper towels. 
2. Add leaves to 750 ml Everclear. 
3. Infuse 20 days, then to taste. (No more than 4 weeks). 
4. Treat as a concentrate for cocktails. Good as a digestif. Especially good in a Bloody Mary. 
5. Store in the freezer.
